Premier League predictions: Arsenal win to nil Brentford

Watch all the highlights of the Premier League matches for free right after the full-time whistle. You can catch the live action of Tottenham vs. Aston Villa, Everton vs. Manchester United, and Fulham vs. Wolves on Sky Sports.

Our tipster, Jones Knows, is diving into the Premier League this weekend, with a focus on Arsenal's match against Brentford. Nick Wright, my colleague at Sky Sports, recently wrote about Arsenal's change of style this season, from chaos to control. They may not be the most entertaining team to watch in terms of goalmouth action, but they have become incredibly difficult to score against. It's looking like an away win for Arsenal.

For those looking for a betting angle, Kristoffer Ajer has stepped up for Brentford in defense following injuries to Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey. He's a bit like Dan Burn in the way he handles one-on-one situations, and his aggressive approach leaves him open to committing fouls. The battle between Ajer and Gabriel Martinelli will be one to watch, and the odds of Ajer getting booked at 100/30 from Sky Bet are quite appealing.

The upcoming match between Tottenham and Aston Villa promises to be a high-line derby with plenty of offsides. The Bet Builder offers a 7/2 bet for Heung-Min Son to score and be caught offside at least twice. Son has been in great form, scoring eight times in his last nine appearances. His ability to time his runs and take on Villa's offside trap makes him a live runner for anytime goalscorer odds at 13/8, 8/1 for a brace, and 40/1 for a hat-trick.

Everton, playing at a galvanized Goodison Park, are priced at 7/4 with Sky Bet. The Toffees have been deducted 10 points for FFP breaches, but this has only fueled the home crowd's passion. With Everton functioning at a high level and Manchester United struggling, Everton are fancied to win at Goodison Park.

The atmosphere at the game could play a part, and referee John Brooks has averaged 4.63 cards per 90 minutes in his Premier League games this season. Everton player cards added to the Everton win makes sense. Jordan Pickford and Jarrad Branthwaite to be carded, along with an Everton win, results in a 100/1 shot.

Fulham may face a tough evening without Joao Palhinha and no reliable goalscorers. Wolves are an upwardly mobile team under Gary O'Neil, and the draw no bet play at 11/10 on Wolves is a solid option. The winning goal for Wolves may come from Rayan Ait-Nouri, who has been pushed further forward to maximize his creative skills. With his impressive metrics, the odds of 28/1 for him to score the first goal are quite appealing.
